”Ow” he said as he placed his hand over his chest ”Why so distant?” he asked her with a chuckle.

”This a formal party and as I told you before, we are no longer close enough to talk so familiarly.”

Woo Yeon felt his chest tighten. He shouldn't have expected her to greet him with open arms, after all, the last time they talked, it didn't end so well.

Woo Yeon grabbed Ha Eun by the wrist, and the two walked outside. No one was around, and the chatter of everyone was lower so they could talk without raising their voices. He took this opportunity to find a way to get to stop being angry with him.

”Ha Eun, what can I do to make you stop being mad at me?” he asked her ”Whatever I did, I will make it up to you.”

Ha Eun was shocked by this. Did he not know why she was angry with him?

”I want us to go back to how we were. I want us to…well…to be together.”

Ha Eun scoffed and looked away in disgust and amazement ”You disgust me. I'm leaving” she said, but Woo Yeon stood in front of her.

”Please, don't” he told her.

”You sure have some guts to say that so openly. If anyone listened in they would think I'm being unfaithful to Chang Wook.”

”Chang Wook again” Woo Yeon said, annoyed, ”Stop pretending you like him!” he yelled angrily. Ha Eun was surprised by this and took a step back.

”I see how you're pretending to like him. You faked a marriage just so you could keep your position as CEO, right?”

Ha Eun widened her eyes but quickly composed herself. They talked about that on the news and the internet. She can play it off as a rumor, just like before.

”That was just a rumor.”

”You are a horrible liar Ha Eun. It's easy to find out that your marriage is a hoax with just a little investigating. The messages between you and Chang Wook were always business-related until the day you two got married, video feeds show both of you never got along until the two of you walked into your building with smiles on your faces. A lot of things don't add up. I'm surprised your family hasn't questioned your marriage.”

He found out something Ha Eun wants to keep secret; it was obvious to her that he was going to blackmail her, which made her chuckle ”I guess it's true when they say what comes around goes around” she said. She blackmailed Chang Wook; it's only fair if she gets blackmailed too.

”Aren't you going to ask me what I want?” Woo Yeon asked her.

”You're going to tell me anyway, so why bother?” she answered.
